Top selection – dough

Tristan Stubbs who is known for his charismatic batting, had a brief stint at the crease against the Barbuda Falcons where he mistimed the ball straight into the hands of deep mid-wicket for just 2 runs. You can still count on him to deliver in this game against the Knight Riders.

Pre-match analysis:

Not the right way St. Kitts and Nevis Patriots would have liked to have finished their opening match against the Antigua & Barbuda Falcons but they grabbed two crucial points with a thrilling last-ball win. The game looked one-sided as they ran away with 111 for 3 while chasing 164 but after a few overs the wickets fell and they were 157 for 8 after 19.1 overs. The South African duo of Anrich Nortje and Tabraiz Shamsi were at bat as they sailed home in an intense game.

The great trio of Evin Lewis (29), Andre Fletcher (25) and Kyle Mayers (39) did their part to lay a solid foundation. Credit goes to their bowlers in the first half who controlled the flow of runs in the middle stages. Whether they will hold up against the glittering Trinbago Knight Riders is something we will have to wait and watch.

Trinbago Knight Riders are the most successful team in the history of the Caribbean Premier League, winning the title four times. Their 100 percent winning record in finals was stopped last season by the Guyana Amazon Warriors, who finished runners-up for the first time. Knight Riders is a team full of stars, including Sunil Narine, Kieron Pollard, Andre Russell, Nicholas Pooran, Dwayne Bravo and Akeal Hosein. Foreign players Jason Roy, Jos Little, Waqar Salamkheil and Andries Gous have made the team shine. Tim David will miss most of the matches and will join the team after completing his international commitments.

Andre Russell, rested for the T20I series against South Africa, is ready to flex his muscles in the CPL 2024. Nicholas Pooran, who is in top form in the T20s in both international and franchise cricket, is their main striker. The strength lies in their bowling with a strong spin attack comprising Sunil Narine, Akeal Hosein and Waqar Salamkheil. Josh Little, Jayden Seales, Andre Russell, Ali Khan, Terrance Hinds and Nathan Edward will form their pace battery.
